Day 9 - Rainbow Nails with Striping Tape

For the rainbow manicure of the challenge I decide to put the striping tape that I got from ebay to use. Unfortunately the tape set didn't have any orange, but I'm still so excited about how this manicure it turned out. This is definitely one I will be wearing again. I started out with one coat of Wet n Wild Black Cream and then added the striping tape. I don't have much more to say about it, so I'll just let the pictures do the talking :D

I just found your blog, so I'm a little late to the party. I've thought about using nail striping tape, but wasn't sure how well they work. This design, though, is an EXCELLENT usage of them! So pretty and shiny! At first I thought you might have painted the colors on your nails, then marked off areas to "save" using tape, and then painted the nails black. Using the colored tape seems like it was a lot easier. ;)

I do like the striping tape for masking off the areas, but for this one I like the shiny effect of the tape. It is fun an easy to do.I don't know if you have seen my tutorial on how I did this one, but it sounds like you figured it out. :)
